More on allegation that NCAE is “arm of Democratic Party”

One of the most interesting and ironic charges leveled by House Speaker Thom Tillis and the other defenders of the secret legislative session the other morning is the assertion that the NC Association of Educators is “an arm of the Democratic Party.”

But, of course, as NCAE Government Relations manager Brian Lewis noted the other day, the express purpose of the bill targeting NCAE (according to Tillis himself) was to punish them for going after Democratic legislators who voted to cut public education.
